Get the temporary directory with the stdlib #156

Closed smancill closed 3 years ago

smancill commented 3 years ago

Do not hardcode the temporary directory to /tmp, because it may not be writable.

See NixOS/nixpkgs#146838 for context.

WojciechMula commented 3 years ago

Oh my, how /tmp cannot be writable?... Wasn't aware of such a case, thanks a lot.

It's just the way the nixpkgs CI sandbox is configured for darwin (not sure how), but I think it is better not to hardcode /tmp anyway. gettempdir is more robust.
